Quotable – Head Coach Angelo Anastopoulo
"We have tremendous respect for Delaware. To go undefeated during the regular season is an impressive accomplishment and nearly impossible in college tennis. This marks the third year in a row that we have played Delaware in the quarterfinals and if this is anything like our previous matchups, it will come down to the wire."

Four Blue Hens have six singles wins to their credit including a perfect 6-0 record for Emily Gotkiewicz. Jojo Bach and Isabella Montana sport an undefeated 6-0 mark in the second doubles flight.
